Abstract
Sebaceous Nevus of Jadassohn is a hamartoma that is a combination of epidermal, follicular, sebaceous and apocrine gland abnormalities. Classically, several types of malignant and benign cutaneous neoplasms have been associated with this hamartoma. Due to the absence of a complete study in Iran for analysis of sebaceous Nevus(SN) incidence, its associated malignancy and developmental defects, we retrospectively studied a series of 42 cases of sebaceous nevus with clinicopathologic correlation over a 10-year period in Hazrat Fatemeh Hospital. The goal of this study was to detect the correlation between sebaceous nevus and cutaneous neoplasms. Several histopathologic changes related to the age of the patients were found. Most of the patients were over 18 years old(63.2%) and the scalp was the most common location of SN(52.4%). Three cases(7.15%) of basal cell carcinoma and three benign cutaneous tumors(1eccrine spiroadenoma(2.4%), 1 trichoepithelioma(2.4%) and 1 inverted keratoacanthoma(2.4%)) arising out of previous SN were found. On the basis of these findings, prophylactic treatment which consists of early excision for preventing the development of the malignancy is recommended for this hamartoma.

Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes, a gram-positive bacillus growing in 4˚c, is a ubiquitous pathogen with food-borne transmission, mostly. Listeriosis is an uncommon disease in a healthy immunocompetent individual, whereas two thirds of listeriosis cases have occurred in immunocompromised persons in whom it causes high mortality rate. The rest of listeriasis cases (1/3) have been seen in pregnant women in whom it causes high fatality rate due to abortion, full-term stillbirth or neonatal infections. Although listeriosis is increasingly recognized as a cause of life-threatening disease, there are certain countries (particularly Asian countries) that have reported only a few cases or have failed to report even a single case. Because of the absence of a perfect study or even a few reported cases of listeriosis in Iran, it was decided to report two cases of perinatal and nonperinatal infections with listeria monocytogenes. The first patient was a 63-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus. She was a known case of idiopathic myelofibrosis from 10 years ago who was hospitalized because of fever and chill. At first she was diagnosed with myocardial infarction, due to elevation of cardiac enzymes(CPK, CPK-MB, Troponin T) and ST segment depression in EKG, but finally, on the 4th day of admission, the patient became lethargic and had respiratory distress, pulmonary edema, loss of conciousness and blood pressure depression. On the 5th day, she expired because of respiratory and cardiac arrest. The blood cultures of her were positive for listeria monocytogenes for two times. The second patient was a 30-year-old woman at the 20th week of gestation. She was a known case of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE), under treatment of corticosteroid, who was admitted for fever. After two days, doctors terminated the pregnancy for her because of fetal heart rate decrease. Then, the fever was reduced and finally the patient was discharged from hospital with good condition. Listeria monocytogenes was isolated three times from patient’s blood cultures.

Abstract
Blood over ordering is a common practice in elective surgeries which can be corrected by a simple mean of changing the blood ordering pattern. Nowadays, the use of Maximum Surgical Blood Ordering Schedule (MSBOS) is the accepted standard of practice for hospital blood banking almost throughout the world. Therefore, a retrospective study was carried out for the first time in Firoozgar Hospital for a period of one year (2002) to study the ordering strategies in this hospital. Blood ordering and transfusion practices were evaluated in 364 elective surgical patients including 6 common major procedures: cesarean section (C/S), thyroidectomy, total hysterectomy, laminectomy, cholecystectomy and modified radical mastectomy (MRM) with the help of different indices such as cross-match to transfusion ratio (C/T ratio), transfusion probability (T%) and transfusion index (TI). Transfusion guidelines for these 6 procedures were proposed. Due to existence of a high total C/T ratio (21.5) (accepted standard value=2.5 times) and very low utilisation percenage of cross-matched units (only 4.7%), it is concluded that change of blood ordering pattern in this hospital is necessary. Also, type and screen (T&S) procedure can be introduced in these 6 procedures as a guideline for preoperative blood ordering.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Zinc deficiency is a common worldwide nutritional disorder. Determination of reference normal values for biological levels of serum zinc in general population is necessary to indicate true variation of elemental concentrations arising from physiological and pathological influences, poisonings, and occupational exposures, but there are no previous studies on zinc status in healthy, adult Iranian population. The aim of this study was to obtain the levels of serum zinc in this population to determine the normal nutritional status of zinc and evaluate the influence of certain factors like age, sex, Body Mass Index(BMI) and smoking habits. Material & Method: In this cross-sectional study, serum samples from 102 randomly selected, healthy personnel of Firouzgar Hospital(mean age: 33.8 ± 10.7 years and mean BMI: 23.74 ± 3.73 kg/m2) were collected and zinc concentration was determined by Flame-Atomic Absorption Spectrometry(AAS). The results were analyzed using uni and multi-variate statistical techniques. Results: The average concentration of zinc in serum was 75.36µg/dl(confidence interval: 95%, ranging 43.54-107.18 µg/dl). Women showed lower zinc levels but there was no statistically significant difference. Serum zinc concentrations were unrelated to age(r=0.073 p=0.466) and BMI(r=0.052 p=0.604). Also smoker men had no significant lower zinc concentrations. Conclusion: About 47.1% of our cases had serum zinc concentrations below the cut off value of 70 µg/dl in serum, which can be interpreted as marginal or mild zinc deficiency.

Abstract
Background & Aim: Rubella vaccine contains live attenuated virus that can be transmitted to fetus causing severe abnormalities in the fetus during pregnancy. However there isn't enough studies to show any congenital rubella syndrome(CRS) in these cases, yet. During mass campaign for Measles-Rubella vaccination in December 2003 in Iran, many pregnant women were vaccinated accidently. In this study we evaluated the prevalence of CRS in pregnant women that had referred to Imam Khomeini & Rasool Akram hospitals in 2003. Patients and Methods: In this cohort study, 810 pregnant women 14-25 years of age who received Measles-Rubella vaccine accidently were studied. The cases were grouped in to "susceptible" and "immune against rubella" before vaccination by the status of IgG avidity to rubella vaccine. Then susceptible women were followed up to delivery and their children were followed up to 2yrs of age. Results: Two neonates that were born from susceptible women, showed Rubella-specific IgG in cord blood sera but did not show signs compatible to congental rubella syndrome. Conclusion: According to our findings, the risk of being infected with rubella vaccine virus for fetus of mothers that were accidently vaccinated with rubella vaccine is minimal.

Abstract
Introduction: Consumption of non-enzymatic antioxidants in the form of dietary supplements can have a positive effect on reducing oxidative stress by hunting free radicals. The aim of Introduction: Consumption of non-enzymatic antioxidants in the form of dietary supplements can have a positive effect on reducing oxidative stress by hunting free radicals. The aim of this study was to explain the effect of 6 weeks of increasing and complementary L-carnitine aerobic exercise on the apline of the cardiac tissue and the blood glucose levels of diabetic mice.
Methods: In this experimental study, 40 males of Wistar male rats were randomly divided into five groups: healthy control, diabetic control, diabetes-L-carnitine, diabetes + aerobic exercise and diabetes + exercise + L-carnitine. After diabetic rats, they were given 100 mg of L-carnitine orally daily. The aerobic exercise program started 5 days a week, for six weeks, with a slope of zero degrees, a speed of 10 meters and a time of 10 minutes in the first week, and in the last week the slope reached 5 degrees, a speed of 20 meters and a time of 40 minutes.
Results: The results showed a significant increase in apline in diabetes groups + aerobic exercise and diabetes group + aerobic exercise + L-carnitine compared to the control group and placebo (p = 0.001). There was no significant difference between the two active research groups (p = 0.274). The results of the follow-up test showed a significant decrease in glucose in the active groups compared to the control and placebo groups (p = 0.001).Results: The results of the follow-up test showed a significant increase in apline receptor in diabetes groups + aerobic exercise and diabetes group + aerobic exercise + L-carnitine compared to the control group and placebo (p = 0.001). There was no significant difference between the two active research groups (p = 0.274). The results of the follow-up test showed a significant decrease in glucose in the active groups compared to the control and placebo groups (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: Aerobic exercise and L-carnitine consumption can increase the apline receptor of cardiac tissue and reduce glucose.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Dyslipidemia and liver dysfunction are associated with a sedentary lifestyle. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sixteen weeks of exercise on serum levels of aminotransferases and lipid profiles in non-athletes men.
Research method: In the present Quasi-experimental research, 150 military personnel from Andimeshk and Dezfoul cities were selected by random sampling method and randomly divided into training and control groups. Exercise was performed for sixteen weeks of functional training in three sessions per week. Each training session is approximately 60-90 minutes of training consist of 3-6 sets with 6-9 workout stations with resistance, power and Functional training, for the upper body, the torso and lower body. Paired sample t-test and independent t-test were used to analyze the data.
Results: After the training period, there was founded a significant decrease in serum levels of ALT (P = 0.005) and AST (P = 0.034) enzymes and a significant increase in serum HDL (P = 0.003). Also, changes in ALT (P < 0.001), AST (P < 0.001), and HDL (P = 0.002) were significant in the exercise group compared to the control group.
Discussion and Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, it can be said that functional training have been able to prevent lipid accumulation in liver tissue by improving lipid profile and had effective on liver function and health due to decreased serum ALT and AST levels as biomarkers related to liver function.
